Story edit

The story follows a group of eclectic characters who form a detective agency through various escapes, with an arching plot concerning the protection of a humanoid character introduced as "cargo".

"Cargo" is later revealed to be a survivor and escapee from an experiment that attempted to change female human beings into genetically engineered weapons called the HW series, which were intended to be used by the military. This contrasted with the earlier BW series weapons, which were glass-based. These caused targets to briefly become glass, then burst into flames.
